The Naira's strength over the dollar can be attributed to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)'s adjustments to its forex policy.

The new policy is aimed at boosting forex supply to enable commercial banks meet the needs of customers seeking dollar, to pay school fees and medical bills overseas, as well as personal travel allowances.

The CBN will next week begin the weekly sale of $1m to each of the country’s 21 commercial banks at N375/dollar to clear a backlog of demand for retail users, and to try and narrow the premium between the official and black market rates.
